Information and communication technologies (ICT) involve using communication technologies like mobile phones, the internet, and telephone to locate, save, send, and edit information. ICT includes technologies used for telecommunication and accessing information, like computers, radio, television, and internet connections. Emerging technologies in ICT include artificial intelligence, robotics, biometrics, quantum cryptography, and virtual reality. The internet and world wide web allow sharing of information globally through interconnected computer networks. Websites can be static, only displaying preset content, or dynamic with interactive, user-generated content as seen on many social media platforms today.

horizons in developing new tools or
emerging technologies. Mobile
devices can communicate through
the following communication
technologies:

7. • Wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) – a type of
wireless local area network
technology.
• Bluetooth – uses packet-based
transmission over short range radio
signals.
• 3rd Generation (3G), 4th
Generation (4G)
• virtual private networks (VPN) –
secure access to a private network.

8. ICT in the Philippines
• Philippines is dub as the “ICT Hub
of Asia” because of huge growth
of ICT-related jobs, one of which
is BPO, Business Process
Outsourcing, or call centers.
• ICT Department in the Philippines
is responsible for the planning,
development and promotion of
the country's information and
communications technology (ICT)
agenda in support of national
development.

• is the global system of interconnected
computer networks that use
the Internet protocol (IP) to link billions of
devices worldwide.
• means of connecting a computer to any
other computer anywhere in the world via
dedicated routers and servers.
• sometimes called simply "the Net," is a
worldwide system of computer networks -
a network of networks in which users at
any one computer can get information
from any other computer

10. World Wide Web
• an information system on the Internet that
allows documents to be connected to other
documents by hypertext links, enabling the
user to search for information by moving
from one document to another.
• is an information space where documents
and other web resources are identified by
URLs, interlinked by hypertext links, and can
be accessed via the Internet.
• Invented by Tim-Berners Lee

12. Web Pages

resources on the World Wide Web.

15. Static Web pages
• Static is Web 1.0
• Static web page is known as flat page or
stationary page in the sense that the page is
“as is” and cannot be manipulated by the
user.
• The content is also the same for all users
that is referred to as Web 1.0

16. Static Web pages

17. Dynamic Web pages
• web 2.0 is the evolution of Web 1.0 by
adding dynamic web pages
• The user is able to see website differently
than others e.g social networking sites,
wikis, video sharing sites
• Web 2.0 allows users to interact with the
page, the user may be able to comment or
create a user account
• Most website the we visit today are Web
2.0

18. Dynamic web pages

19. Static vs. Dynamic Web page
• Static" means unchanged or constant, while
"dynamic" means changing or lively.
• A static site is one that is usually written in
plain HTML and what is in the code of
the page is what is displayed to the user.
A dynamic site is one that is written using a
server-side scripting language such as PHP,
ASP, JSP, or ColdFusion.

20. Features of Web 2.0
1. Folksonomy- allows user to categorize and
classify information e.g tagging by facebook,
twitter, use tags that start with the pound
sign #, referred to as hashtag
2. Rich User Experience- content is dynamic
and is responsive to user’s input
3. User Participation- The owner of the website
is not the only one who is able to put
content. Others are able to place a content of
their own by means of comments, reviews,
and evaluation e.g lazada.com, amazon.com

21. Features of Web 2.0
5. Mass Participation- diverse information sharing
through universal web access. Web 2.0’s content
is based on people from various cultures

22. Trends in ICT
